Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses who are here today. My first questions are for Mr. Sullivan.
Mr. Sullivan, in your testimony today you spoke about the lack of meaningful consultation that occurred between DFO and harvesters in Newfoundland and Labrador, and a refusal to acknowledge input from experienced knowledgeable harvesters.
Could you expand and share a bit more around proper consultation? What are you hearing from other fishers and harvesters, and, of course, what would that proper consultation look like?
